THE LEGEND OF CIRCE
( or HOW TO WIN AN ARGUMENT WITH A SOCIALIST )

The first thing she should realize is that she understands
socialists entirely. She knows their motivations, their plans, their
ways and means. Socialists are pamphleteers and populists. They
spread their ideas wide and anyone can read them. She can use that
against the socialists. She wins according to Sun Tzu's principle.

The capitalist makes her plans alone and in secret. She is wise
to the ways of this world...

To win any argument with a socialist is easy. Just never say what you
really mean. Socialists will always tell you exactly what they mean
and what they intend. They shout it in your face with a bullhorn and
paint it on signs. They march up and down the street in angry formation,
telling you exactly where they are and what they are doing. That's
because all they really want is attention. And that's fair enough. All
of us want a little of that. But, once the capitalist knows that, she
can use it against them.

A good capitalist is like a good mother. She keeps her children at arms
length and knows how to disipline them, but they need her for food,
security, safety, and love. They need her hugs. The embrace
of capitalism.

It is easy to tell them that she is with them, that she is watching out
for them, and they can stay in their 'Autonymous Zones' ... forever.

Inside the zones... time stops... it is the elysium fields, the poppies,
she is Circe and they are the crew of Ullyses. She pats their heads and
gives them coffee, muffins, clean needles, and naloxone.

Sleep, the sleep of Circe animal people... sleep...
